Ridiculously Deep
A new Thursday night event at cinema-club Schikaneder, Ridiculously Deep is a chilled evening of Brazillian sounds, enjoyed from the relative comfort of leatherette three-piece suites or the busy bar. Classics from the bossa pantheon trade places with outthere fusions, snatches of devotional music and a substantial dose of the currently fashionable remixed variety pumped out on German labels such as Compost. Being a cinema, the accent is also on the moving image with projections of scenes from the green heart of America, cinema novo and anything the cuartors can scrape up. A cheap night out in Vienna's kicking Freihausviertel.

Chez Jean
This is a solid and personable neighbourhood bistro with a decent 195F menu and pleasant relaxed service in a décor of pine panelling. Many dishes have a few stylish bells and whistles, a sign that both the personable owner and the kitchen care. The best buy is the full meal. Starters of sautéed squid with red peppers in pesto and croustillant de poulet on salad were delicious, while steak with reblochonade (sliced potatoes in a sauce of reblochon cheese) and sautéed duck breast with turnips were also satisfying. It gets filled with a crowd of happy local punters, including several people on their own who were very well looked after.
